摘要: The use of foam is described to increase the gas storage capacity a porous, water-bearing subterranean formation and confine injected within defined zone. An aqueous solution containing foam-promoting agent into formation, either prior or concomittantly with injection. Foam formed by passage through foam-forming effects substantial reduction in permeability gas. (22 claims)
